    MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2016 19 Misfiring Ronaldo: Portugal foiled by mediocre Austria PARIS: Cristiano Ronaldo missed a second-half penal- ty as Portugal stumbled to a second straight draw at FAN FERVOR Euro 2016 on Saturday after a frustrating 0-0 stale- mate against Group F rivals Austria in Paris. Ronaldo set a new Portuguese record with his 128th interna- tional cap, surpassing the mark previously shared with Luis Figo, but the occasion will be better remem- bered for the Real Madrid superstar hitting the post with a 79th-minute spot-kick. Hungary, who salvaged a point in a 1-1 draw with Iceland, are the surprise group leaders with a game to play, while Austria must win their final match to avoid exiting prematurely. “This is not the result we wanted. It’s not fair, it’s not deserved but that’s football,” said Portugal coach Fernando Santos. “It’s no use crying over spilt milk, it’s not the time to have regrets. “We have another point and we have a ‘final’ to play on the 22nd (against Hungary), we have to focus on winning the next match.” Santos sought to reinvigorate his team after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Iceland, drafting in Ricardo Quaresma to form an attacking trident with Ronaldo and Nani. William Carvalho was handed a start in central midfield, while Austria coach Marcel Koller made three changes, two enforced, with Sebastian Prodl, Stefan Ilsanker and Marcel Sabitzer all coming into the side beaten 2-0 by Hungary on Tuesday. Portuguese authority Austria showed early signs of promise, much like in PARIS: Portugal’s forward Cristiano Ronaldo reacts after missing an opportunity on goal during the Euro their opener against Hungary, carving out a chance 2016 group F football match between Portugal and Austria at the Parc des Princes.

Y, por otro, la influencia de esta construcción mediática en los hinchas peruanos. Para esto, se tomaron como ejemplo tres partidos repre- sentativos en los cuales el delantero peruano logra anotar (Chile, Argentina y Colombia). Se intenta demostrar cuáles han sido los recursos discursivos para informar acerca de los goles de Paolo Guerrero y así, de la mano, cómo estas portadas y artículos han influido en la población para crear una imagen positiva del jugador. Se proyecta que el discurso deportivo de la prensa escri- ta ha contribuido positivamente en la construcción de la imagen pública del futbolista.
